“Theophany is a truly sacred feast day for
all the brothers at the rehabilitation center. It is a Feast Day during which
everyone at the rehabilitation center can showcase their true potential and
abilities.”
Sergei,
Head Brother at the Men’s Rehabilitation Center
It is
always a pleasure to continue the festal celebrations of Theophany at the Men’s
Rehabilitation Center at our Convent. Sergei, the brother in charge at the
rehabilitation center says that Theophany has a special meaning for all of the
residents of the center because everyone takes part in the preparation process.
According to brother Anatoli and brother Sergei the work which includes
decorating, cutting out the cross in the ice, ice sculpting and much more are
not easy tasks but are done with great joy. Brother Gennadi noted that this
year there is much planned as part of the festivities and the activities will
be diverse and interesting.
The guests will be offered refreshments, there will
be an open market, guided tours, horseback riding and bonfires. Brother Igor
noted “Nowadays my approach to faith and to Theophany is entirely different, it
is too bad that you begin to feel this way only at the end of your life.”
